Madonna Uses Nazi Imagery in Israel Show

Madonna has always been shorter on talent than her reputation would suggest – and she’s always made up for that shortage with shock value. As her skills diminish, then, you’d expect her act to get more and more shocking.

Last week, Madonna performed in Israel, where she showed an image of Marine Le Pen, the popular right-wing French politician and daughter of noted racialist Jean-Marie Le Pen, with a swastika between her eyes. “We understand how old singers who need to get people talking about them go to such extremes,” Le Pen told the Daily Mail. She threatened legal action if Madonna tried the same tactic at her performance in Paris in July.
